What does O24u Online address?

O24u is BREATHE LA Environmental Education Program.

Where does this plastic bottle go?

In the "Garbage & Recycling" section, students will find answers to the nagging question of "What goes where?" when sorting trash.

What's so great about recycling?

Through a series of activities, students learn how the garbage we throw away affects the air we breathe and how we can decrease pollution by reusing, reducing and recycling.

I keep hearing about global warming. What's the deal?

The Earth's surface temperature has climbed over 1oF in the last 100 years. That doesn't sound like much! But just think: during the last Ice Age, the temperature was only 7oF colder than it is today and glaciers covered most of North America! In the Climate Change section, students learn what a warmer world means to our health and future.
